Why Lyrics by Straight Shooter (DEU)

My Time - Your Time

0

[Verse]
Why all that boozin'?
All that loosin'?
Human substance seems
To shatter down the streets
Why all that turnin'?
And all that burnin'?
All that pushin' around
It seems no good to me

[Pre-Chorus]
All the peaceful summernights
Ain't there violence, ain't there fights
Ugly faces, mean eyes
Dirty hands, dirty minds

[Chorus]
No, no, no, no!
Don't you tell me
Don't you tell me
This is "city life"
No! No excuses
No excuses for a knife

[Post-Chorus]
But when I put on my TV
What I see, it seems so strange to me
What men is doin' to men
It's hardly paradise
Keepin' stories true
By naked lies

[Pre-Chorus]
All the peaceful summernights
Ain't thеre violence, ain't thеre fights
Ugly faces, mean eyes
Dirty hands, dirty minds

[Chorus]
No, no, no, no!
Don't you tell me
Don't you tell me
This is "city life"
No! No excuses
No excuses for a knife

[Post-Chorus]
But when I put on my TV
All I see, it seems so strange to me
What men is doin' to men
It's hardly paradise
Keepin' stories true
By naked lies

[Outro]
So we're standin' at your grave
With tears in eyes
And our fate
We had our hope
We have our pride
But we won't forget the day you died
